Doonmacfelim Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 105 ydExplorer Tom Doonmacfelim Castle was built on a mound because the builder had zero imagination. It changed hands so often it probably forgot its own name. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
bridge166 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Ballyvara would cope perfectly on a reality show by pretending it didn’t hear the contestants shouting. Built around 1850, it has one arch because two felt like too much effort for the stone masons. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Mound in DoonmacfelimMound · 182 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mound in Doonmacfelim sits on a slope like a lazy potato. It’s oval-shaped and next to a castle that probably judges your shoes. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Fisherstreet PotCave · 388 ydExplorer Tom Fisherstreet Pot sounds like it belongs in Doolin; perhaps it’s a secret shortcut for fish trying to avoid the nets?
KnockastooleryBarrow, stepped barrow · 574 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockastoolery in Doolin is no longer visible, which means it’s officially retired and probably napping somewhere under the gorse. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Children's playground868 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The charm of this children's playground lies in its vibrant colors and endless fun for little ones.
Roadford BridgeBridge · 1099 ydExplorer Tom Roadford Bridge has six arches, which is a lot of effort for something you just walk across. Built in 1810, it’s probably tired of carrying cars instead of horses. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from drunk farmers since the Victorian era.
Doonagore Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 1244 ydExplorer Tom Doonagore Castle in ruins is playing hard to get in County Clare. I reckon a ghost lives there now and eats all the mail. Bring your own biscuits, because the locals definitely hoard them.
Doolin FerriesHeritage attraction · 1467 ydExplorer Tom Doolin Ferries is a living testament to tradition, with views of the Cliffs of Moher that capture the spirit of County Clare.
Wild Atlantic Way: Doolin PierVisitor information · 1480 ydExplorer Tom Wild Atlantic Way: Doolin Pier has me imagining a place where the pier is as long as the tide
Ballaghaline PointHeadland · 1738 ydExplorer Tom Ballaghaline Point looks out toward Crab Island and Inisheer from this headland, framing a lovely view across the water.
Doolin PointHeadland · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Doolin Point features a limestone platform in County Clare, where Atlantic waves crash energetically against the rock face.
